Abstract

A method of carving a contour surface on a composite core can include positioning a first edge of the composite core against a first tooled member; locating a first magnet within an outer cell member along the first edge of the composite core so that the first edge of the composite core is magnetically drawn to the first tooled member; locating a second magnet along a second edge of the composite core such that the second edge of the composite core is magnetically drawn to a second tooled member; and carving a first contour of the composite core.
